The Official "I'm Feeling Emotional" Thread

Yeh this actually seems to be like a syndrome where I go. People are always saying shit like I'm taking 22 credits this semester and working full time and I honestly just think they're FOS.

Most college kids (when you get to know them) are lazy, complain a lot, make it look like they have much busier lives than they really do (so they can complain even more) and actually spend half of their days sleeping.

There IS the small percentage who is working to put themself through school, but most have mommy and daddy paying, than party and sleep every second they get.
I've been in college like 8 years now lol and you start to see very inconsistent patterns after a while.

Bro I took 22 credits last semester and finished with a 3.91....and worked in the emergency room every weekend...its doable if your disciplined, and mildly intelligent...

do you sleep 8 hours a night and workout?

Workout yes, 8 hours yea right...To be honest with you though, I study for all tests the night before and morning of tests. I write all papers (up to say, 10 pages) the night before they are due. I can typically write a 10 page research paper in about 4 hours...I dont think I have ever done my assigned readings the entire time I have been in college. I am pretty sure this is going to come back to bite me in the ass in medical school, but it works for now and I am doing very well so no need to change...

i had the impression by "full time" he meant working forty hours per week

Yeh that makes sense, but this is just something you do Sat and Sun?
And how many hours?

Cause when you say you work the emergency room every weekend its a bit vague, especially when you were awfully specific about your GPA..

4 hours on saturday and sunday...i dont think anymore than that would have been physically possible with that work load, and to still maintain a life. I am at the bottom of the totem pole, so I do all of the bitch work in the ER and its pretty exhausting...I'm really not advocating anyone ever take 7 classes, I did it out of necessity to graduate on time, I would without a doubt never in my life CHOOSE to do that just for the hell of it. And to be honest the work load itself wasn't the bad part, it was the stress of knowing how much work you had to complete and how many tests you would have at one time if they all started to hit near one another. I could tell I was getting alot sicker during that time period, and everything seemed to get a lot better as soon as break started.
